I was watching "Magnum Force" last night and when Callahan goes down to the coroners office to look at all the dead bodies the coroner says about the pimp. "Who ever did this emptied a whole clip into him".

I don't know anything about it because he didn't have a nickel plated S&W but rather a Colt Police Positive in 32 new police (32 S&W) most likely. If you look at it in the movie, you will see it does not have the S&W style release, and it does not have a the same side plate.

48 hours was a great flick...I watched that when I was 8 when they didn't edit all tv movies. I love dirty harry(the movie...saw as a child too), magnum force doesnt compare in my opinion but dirty harry and the dead pool was a good one(did you know jim carrey was in that movie from 1989...you might not care either lol but some trivia for you he was the junkie in the video and liam nelson("The Grey") was his boss.

all that babble i will say magnum force's first scene on the plane was a dandy

My favorite [that hasn't been mentioned] is Wasabi. It is a french film with Jean Reno playing a loner cop who is a former member of some security service for France and is brutal [yes, like Dirty Harry]. However, the fighting scenes are more funny than accurate: like the scene where he punches a man and he flies 15 feet backward. It is deliberately shot that way to be funny, not just stupid fight choreography.

Anyway, he doesn't carry a S&W model 29, but an 8+" barrel S&W .357mag [I forget if it was 686 or 686+] at the beginning, and a Taurus Raging Bull later.

I like Jean Reno and found this a fun movie with some great [humourous] action scenes. That is why Wasabi gets my vote!

I like Val Kilmer in "Thunderheart" who played an FBI agent investigating murders on an Indian Reservation. He had a couple of shootouts with his 2.5 inch Smith&Wesson K frame revolver. Those K frames look a bit big compared to a traditional J frame "snubby".

Magnum force is the best revolver movie. There is an old cop movie from the same year called Seven Ups with Roy Scheider. Quite a few revolver scenes including the final shoot out where the bad guy uses an N frame with either a four inch barrel or a 3 1/2 inch.
